Parliamentary—The editor of the Liver
pool Advertiser, on tile 15th May, in remar
king on the Parliamentary proceedings ob-
lerves:
“The distress of country, and the languor
and debility under which commerce and
manufactures droops, have directed the
minds of commercial men deeply interested
profoundly acquainted with the interest of
trade, to the system by which our commer
cial connexions with foreign countries are
regulated. It has been suggested, that the
evils of which we complain might, by a
change in our system, be alleviated, if not re
moved ; and Petitions have been presented
to Parliament by the Merchants of the Me
tropolis, and other commercial towns in the
country praying (or the removal of the nu
merous restrictions with which the trade be
tween Great Britain and Foreign countries
is impeded and interrupted. Mr. Baring,
the Merchant, has become the advocate of
this free system of trade in Parliament; and
on Monday last that Geulleman brought the
Subject under the consideration of the House
of Commons in a very luminous and concltt-
give strain of argument. In the view taken
by that Hon. Gentleman on thi3 subject,the
House seemed generally to Concur. Even
Mi. Robinson, the President of the Board
of Trade, expressed his conviction that pro
hibitory restrictions on commerce were
founded in error, and calculated to defeat tile
object for which they were intended.
It was, however, felt and acknowledged by
Mr. Ricardo and others, that the existing
system was so completely ingrafted upon
tne commercial policy of the country, that
it would lie inexpedient to abandon at once
the prohibitory laws hy which our foreign
trade is regulated, and that we must make
the advance towards the. right path with cau
tion and circumspection. The petition was
received, and the. impression made on the
House on the occasion was certainly very
powerful.”

[-V. Y. Spectator.]
We have read files of Paris papers to the
1st of May inclusive. They contain a varie
ty of interesting matter in relation to the af
fairs of Spain and Germany, as well as those
of France. The French House of Deputies
was occupied in the last week of April, with
representations from Nismes and other parts
of the South of France, concerning ultra-
royal. st machinations, involving a very per
nicious and seemingly well authenticated
plan of popular excitement. A field of re
crimination was opened in tile debates on
tile subject, of which the principal orators a-
vailcd themselves with the greatest mutual
violence. The acrimony of party spirit in
tile Legislature seems to have hern increas
ed by the restrictive laws of the Ministry.—
Air' Manuel, one of the leaders of the oppo
sition, proposed ail address to the King on
/the dangers in which the ministerial system
/ had involved the nation. Seural editors had
' been tried/ for violating the law of Censor
ship.
Am r tariff was also under discussion in
fhe last days of April, and gave rise to much
controversy in regard to the general pritvei
pies of political economy and the true inte
rests of France, in the case. Prohibitory du
tics were loudly condemned by some of the
speakers, on the same broad grounds upon
which the wisdom of them is contested in
this country ; Iwt, in general, a fixed disposi
tion was shewn to encourage to the utmost
practicable exlent, domestic manufactures k.
H*e products of the French colonics. Among
the imported article* which it was agreed to'
interdict allege her, an observe Cashmere
shawls, of unieli the imitation constitutes a
considerable business in France. The in-
crerete of the import on foreign woollens,
with a vi< w to support the domestic fabric,
which was represented fn be at the lowest
eiili of depression in point of price, formed
the chief topic ofinterest and argument. In
the course of the debate, statements were
made which exhibit France as partaking
largely in tlie general domestic distress of
Europe.
The ministerial journals of Paris continue
to put forth sinister reports bud predictions
touching tlie revolution of Spain. The par
ticular facts which they relate are, however,
of an opposite augury. It Ls stat* d that in
Valencia, the arch bishop preaches weekly iu
tlm cathedral, in favor of the Constitution,
and has given ten thousand dollars towards
the exigencies of state; that the Bishop oi
Segovia also preaches regularly in its favor ;
that the Bishop of Salamanca has published
a pastoral letter in the same strain—that the
old members of the Cories are absolutely
forced by the gratitude of the people to suf
fer themselves to be re-elected, k.c. The
manifesto of Ferdinand to the South Ame
ricans, is published in the French papers of
both sides, k. mentioned iu an article extract
ed from a Madrid Gazette of the IRth April.
We see no room to question its genuineness.
A considerable quas.il; y of French books
has been sold into Spain from Bayonne ami
Perpignan, and the smaller towns in the
neighborhood of the Pyrenees. It is boast-
d that French political science and general
philosophy will soon be abundant in tlie Spa
nish book-stores and libraries.
The newspaper articles and extracts of
ette.rs from Germany, speak of a continued
agitation in Prussia.—Her government is
boldly assailed in numerous writings, some
f which are imputed to the Universary stu
dents. This corps really constitutes a for
midable political sect. They are accused it,
the Berlin papers, of being “ revolutionary
nd their professors of inculcating upon tin m
landestinely “ the most detestililc princi
ples.” Among the foreign articles of the
French iournal*, is one. w ich gives an ac-‘
count of an insurrection at Ah ppo iu Syria.

Religions missions are now organized ifor

object.

THE CENSUS OF 1820.
Washington. June I
We publish to-day copies of all the papers
which have h. i n issued from the Depart
ment of Stale as Instructions and Forms, ne
cessary to the fourth enumeration of the in-
habitnnsof the United States and t : eseveral
Territories of the Union, and for the proper
taking an account of Manufacturing Estab
lishments and Manufactures throughout 11i«
country. The act of the 14th of March last,
which authorizes this Census has been al
ready promulgated in tlie National Intelli
gencer.
The enumeration of persons every ten
: rs, is a constitutional injunction ; obey
ing which, the National Legislature hasbeen
rctofore contented with a simple return of
the free white population discriminated ac
cording to age and sex, and of the aggregates
on the oilier fiee persons and of slaves with
out any discrimination whatever. This was
ertainlycarrying the cnn.-titutional provi-
ions into effect; yet it war nothing more.—
In the year 1810, indeed, there was an at
tempt, in connection with the census of per
sons, to ascertain the amount of Itnnie man-
factures *, hut the result was very imperfect
ind quite unsatisfactory.
Tlie public are aware, that government
as been reproached with inattention to one
or more leading interests of tlie community.
This reproach not always uttered in a ndid
or respectful manner, implies, in itself, an im
proper demand. Those who urge it, ask
©tiling less than that Congress should be
come. a party to promote one branch of na
tive industry, without special reference to
Ihe rights of other branches equally entitled
to protection. The National Legislature
however, can he of no party. All the inter-
sts of the whole Union may justly claim
their due share of consideration from the
Representatives of the'Peoi.ln.
Wise conclusions can only be drawn from
.xaet knowledge. A truth foobvimts could
not escape the attention of so enlightened a
body as the Congress ; and'hence the census
of 1820 presents a wide scope and embraces
many objects of enquiry. 'The document
transmitted to the Marshals appear to be as
comprehensive as possible,-within the pro-
isions of the law. The opportunity is thus
afforded to agriculturalists, to manufacturers,
and to the commercial class, to bring their
numbers, and the value oftheir several pur
suits, advantageously to the. view of tha Le
gislature ; which, it cannot he questioned,
when furnished with undisputed facts from
every section of the Republic, will afford, to
all three of those descriptions of persons, le
gislative support, in tlie degree that eaeli, re
stively to the others, may merit. It is difli-
eult to coneeive how either of them with
propriety can ask for more.
I.etfhe individuals concerned, therefore,
not he wanting to themselves ; but give, all
tlie aid they can, by promptly communica
ting correct information to the Marshals and
their assistants.
From the tenor of several recent acts of
Congress, it is evident that our national
councils are turning their attention more de
cidedly to the cultivation off the productive
industry and resources of tlie people of the
United States ; n preliminary step in which
is the acquisition of statistical knowledge.—
Of this, Ihe enlarged views of the law au
thorizing the further census, is a strong proof
and another may be found in the provisions
of “ An Act for obtaining accurate state
ments of the Foreign Commerce of the U.
States,” passed on the 10th of February
last. It is by such a process of investigation
that our statesmen will enable themselves
to legislate with intelligence and precision,
on subjects of internal improvement, and
every point connected with national econo
my and the public revenue. Disingenuous
clamour and misguided zeal win, in this man
ner, find a cure fur their turbulence and mi
gry judgments, unreasonably directed against
tlie constituted authorities, who cannot pos
sibly have any other object in their measures
than the general welfare of the nation.

F .VIE OF THE IT LOT BOAT' PATRIOT.
It will be recollected by many ot our
readers that during the late war with En
gland, the above named pilot boat was
■dispatched to Charleston for the purpose
of bringing to this city Mrs. Allston,
lady of ihe then Governor of South Ca
rolina, and daughter of Col. Burr, for
merly Vice President of the United
States. Mrs. Allston was in a delicate
state ofhealth at tlie time, and unable to
travel by land. Timothy Gaef.ne Esq.
of ibis city, an intimate ttiei * ofGovern-
or All?toil’s family, proceeded toCharles-
ton in tlie pilot boat, for the purpose of
accotnp uiying fill's. A. on the voyage.—
From the time Ihey embarked and sailed
from Charleston no tidings whatever had
on beard td the vessel or any one on
board.—It was at first supposed that the
vessel must have been captured by a Bri
tish cruizer, hat after a lapse of time
that hope was abandoned. Notwithstand
ing the weather was mild and favorable
for several days after the vessel I ft
Charleston and such as to render her !o»r-
nvystet ious, up to the present time, no o-
tlier idea ot the melutichollv circunt-
tancc had prevailed than that the vessel
must have foundered tit sea, or run un
der during a chase.
But the mystery is at length developed
-for the honor of human nature, it wore
to be wished that tlie facts had never
been revealed, and that the following
horrible tale It id been buried with tlie
wretches who told it.
A gentleman recently from New-Or-
leaus, has communicated to a friend of
the family of the late Mr. Greene, that
two of the Pirates, lately sentenced to
suffer death at New-Orleans, confessed
that they composed part of the crew of
ihe above Pilot Boat Patriot l that after
being at sea 2 or 3 days, and ne;ir the
shore, they rose upon the captain and
passengers, a ml confined them below—
when they stood close in shore, and after
plundering the passengers of a conside
rable sain of tnom y and plate belonging
mostly to Mrs. Allston, they launched
tlie boat and scuttled the vessel, wliicb
soon filled and went down, with the un
fortunate inmates confined below ! The
dreadful tragedy was performed in the
dead of night. These wretches succeed
ed in reaching the shore w ith tlie boat,
and had thus far escaped detection and
punishment ofthis horrible crime.
None, of the Eastern Legislatures has
pursued the course ofConuecticut touch
ing the Missouri Question. Neither
Rhode Island, nor Massachusetts, nor
Maine has adopted resolutions in reply
to those of Virginia—nor expressed the
slightest opposition to the net of Congress
for the admission of Missouri without re
striction—We begin to hope that this
storm will blow over—and a permanent
sunshine settle upon the land.

than, in respect to his intercourse with
us, and non intercourse with our sister
colonies in the West Indies—after the
alternate flashes of hope and depressi

have been experienced by many—vve
may now conclude that the fate of the
long talked of, threatened Navigation
Bill is at length decided, Air. King's
Bill has passcil. \\ c have not yet been
able to get bold of any newspaper that
contains a statement of (bis circumstance
—but the fact is asserted by several per

firmed by a letter, from which the fol
lowing is an extract, from a Mercantile
House of high respectability in Norfolk
to a house of equal respectability in this
place—dated,
‘ Norfolk, Ith May, 1820—I regret
to inform you, that Congress has passed
the Navigation Act, which prohibits the
importation into the United States, after
September next, any produce not the
grorcth of the Island from whence it is
shipped. Y our Island producing nothing,
will affect greatly our Trade with you.”
Massachusetts.—In consequence of*
the late division of this state, a question
has arisen, whether many of the local
laws and institutions, which were for
merly applicable to her when she und
Maine wore an entire body, continue so-
still. This has suggested the call of a
state, convention for live revision of the
constitution, and a bill has passed the se
nate, 21 to 1 (two being absent) to sub
mit tu the people of the commonwealth
the question whether such convention
shall be assembled.
HARVEST.
In most of tlie lower counties of Vir
ginia, a large proportion of the wheat
harvest was gathering during the lastr
and present week. From almost every
quarter, the crops is reported to be un
commonly abundant. This month too
has been in an extraordinary degree,
favorable to the growth of Indian corn-
Fhe present promises of that grain are
peculiarly cheering. Bread stuffs, there
fore, promise to be very abundant; how
ever scarce those persons may find mo,-*
ney, w ho arc most in want of it.

Puii.Ai'ELPiiiA, June 21.
Much stir was occasioned last evening,,
by a discovery, indicating a plot to rob
the Philadelphia B.mk. This bank has
beeir once robbed, (about four years
since,) by a follow who conceived the
design, and put it in execution, ofgetting
into the vault from the culvert under the
street. At Lh it time, lie entered the
ewer in Market street, and groped his
way about two hundred yards, till he
came opposite Ihe vault. We have col
lected the following circumstances rela
tive to the present attempt;
Monday, after night-fall, a person wre
seen to enter the sewer in Hudson’s al
ley, and, as the fellow who before com
mitted the robbery had been recently
released from the penitentiary, the cir
cumstance excited attain. Yesterday
morning guards were placed at all the
outlets of the common sewer, & a search,
was set on foot. Iu the afternoon, the
persons employed to ransack tl)c sewers
discovered mining tools, consisting of a.
crow-bar, a mattock, and a shovel ; an
umbrella handle, containing a dirk, and
a small batteaux, that had been earned
in from the liver; a bottle of spirits, a
great coat, some oil, &c. Guards were
still kept at the outlets lust night, ns it
was supposed tlie robbers might be some
where concealed in tlie subterraneous
passages. It was rumored, that the wit
ness to a person entering the sewer,
identified him with Robinson, the rob
ber above alluded to. The batteaux of
course, was concealed for the purposw
of transporting the contents of the vault
of the bank, and perhaps, firstly, to car-^
ry away the dirt.—Union,

This notorious and accomplished vit-
lian having been foiled in bis second afo
tempt to plunder the Philadelphia Bank,
hired a horse and gig the next day, at a
Livery stable in this city. Not returning
in due time, and on enquiry the owner
suspecting all was not right, pursued him
to New York. After having him arrest
etl, he confessed that he had sold both
horse and gig, and already expended the
money. l!e is now in safe custody, in

African Colony.—Several letters have-
been recciv ed in this city from the agents
ot the government, dated after the arrival'
of the colony at Shevbro, on the West*-
ern const of Africa, all of w hich are en
couraging. The health of the Rev. Air..
Bacon nnd Air. John P. Bankson, and in
deed of all their charge, was excellent—
U would appear that the most friendly
reception was given them by the natives,,
and although the precise place for a T)er»
manent settlement was not determined
on when ihe Elizabeth sailed, there was
no apprehension of any difficulty on that
score. Very soon after landing, Reli
gious Societies were commenced, at
which the natives attend with apparent
solemnity and devotion. A Sunday School
was immediately opened, embracing the
children of the colonists, and more than
forty ot the native children, under the
care of proper officers, and of 12 colour
ed teachers.
We understand that the first volume
of an English translation of Carlo Botta’s
Italian history of the American Revolu
tion, will be issued, this or n^xt week r
from tlie Philadelphia press. The trans
lator is George Alexander Otis, Esq. of
Boston whose version of M. de Pradt’s
“ Europe after the Congress of Aix-Ia-
Chapelle,” is, we believe, extensively
known. I le is employed upon the other
volumes of Air. Botta’s work, and will
publish them as they are successively
completed. This foreign history will,,
no boubt, excite curiosity, and prove a
useful accession to our literature, by
familiarizing us with our own annals.—
The author saw our revolution in the
true point of view ; he has traced the
causes and course of it in the clearest
manner, and digested the incidents into
an orderly, comnact, vigorous narrative.-
